HER FEET ON HER HONEYMOON. LIVE IN LAKE COUNTY, MICHELLE MEREDITH, WESH 2 NEWS. A RESORT SECURITY GUARD IS BEING HAILED A HERO FOR HIS ACTIONS WHEN THE BUILDING STARTED TO CRUMBLE. WESH 2'S MARINA MARRACO TOURED THE GROUNDS WITH HIM AFTER THINGS HAD SETTLED DOWN. ALL 36 GUESTS STAYING IN THE TWO BUILDINGS EVACUATED SAY IT WAS JUST ONE MAN WHO MADE SURE THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM GOT OUT ALIVE AND UNKATED AND IT HAD BEEN IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH THE MAJORITY OF THEM POSSIBLY SLEEPING, RICHARD SHANELY, THE ON-SITE SECURITY GUARD SAID HE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT ALONE. OH, MY GOD, DID IT REALLY HAPPEN. Reporter: RICHARD SHANLEY WAS JUST 5 MINUTES INTO HIS SHIFT LATE LAST NIGHT WHEN A GUEST STAYING AT BUILDING 104 FLAGGED HIM DOWN. BIG POPPING NOISE, CRACKING, GLASS BREAKING, JUST THINGS THAT YOU DON'T NORMALLY HEAR. Reporter: SHAND SHANLEY KNOCKED ON EVERY SINGLE DOOR GETTING PEOPLE OUT AS FAST AS HE COULD FROM TWO BUILDINGS, 104 AND 105, BOTH CONNECTED BY THIS BREEZE-WAY, NOW COMPLETELY COLLAPSED. DID YOU KNOW AT THAT POINT IT WAS A SINKHOLE? NO, I DID NOT. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AT THAT TIME. Reporter: BEFORE EMERGENCY CREWS COULD MAKE THEIR WAY IN, HE USED SIDE STAIRWELLS TO GET THE FAMILIES OUT, NOT KNOWING THAT IN LESS THAN 45 MINUTES, BUILDING 104 WOULD CRUMBLE TO THE GROUND. I LITERALLY HAD TO WAKE TWO FAMILIES UP AND GET THEM OUT BECAUSE THEY WERE STILL SLEEPING AT THE TIME. Reporter: THIS MORNING GUESTS AND STAFF AT THE SUMMER BAY RESORT ARE HAILING HIM A HERO. I'M JUST AN AVERAGE RUN OF THE MILL PERSON. I ACT THE AS I HAD TO DO. AS SOON AS THE RESORT GETS THE GROUND ASSESSOR, THEY'RE HOPING TO LET GUESTS BACK INTO BUILDING 105. AS FOR THE OTHER BUILDING,
